Dakota, 12, to star in 'disturbing paedophile film'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1773

Child actress Dakota Fanning will appear in a controversial new movie featuring paedophile scenes.

War of the Worlds star Dakota, 12, has signed up to appear in Hounddog.

The screenplay calls for Fanning's character to be raped in one explicit scene and to appear naked or clad only in "underpants" in several other horrifying moments.

A source close to the film said: "The two taboos in Hollywood are child abuse and the killing of animals.

"In this movie, both things happen." Fanning's mother, Joy, and her Hollywood agent, Cindy Osbrink, see the movie, written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier, as a possible Oscar vehicle for the pint-size star.

But despite Fanning's status as a bankable actress - whose movies, including last year's War of the Worlds have earned more than half a billion dollars since 2001 - the alarming material seems to have scared off potential investors, according to the New York Daily News.

The film charts the life of a girl who is abused and finds solace in the music of Elvis Presley.

Fanning's carefully choreographed rape scene has already been filmed. But then the production - which also stars Robin Wright Penn, David Morse and Piper Laurie - was stopped because of a lack of money.

But emergency investors were found and the movie is set to be finished by the end of the week.

"It's not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress," Fanning's agent, Osbrink, said.

"And I've never been so proud of her in my life. In every scene she gets better and better."

I asked this question earlier. Perhaps it was answered, but I'm not going to go back through all these posts: Was this child rape a historical fact? Did what is filmed actually happen in real life?

One thing you need to remember, too, is that a lot of stuff ends up on the cutting room floor;there's no guarantee it'll ever appear in the final cut. If this film ever sees the light of day, the editor may decide it's over the top, the studio may decide it's over the top, etc., and the mother may even decide it's over the top.

For instance, remember Natalie Portman in Closer? Full frontal was shot....no one will ever see it, because the director cut it from the film and agreed to destroy the raw footage.

As for annoying you, during some of you 15k posts in the last year, I think you might have picked up on the Chris Angelesque Illusion that I'd be the one to give a crap if I "annoy" you.

Yep......and I told you 2 things about myself and you feel as though you know my entire life story. "OMG Mecca doesn't have a job he must sit around playing video games and smoking weed all day." "Since Mecca doesn't have a job right now he's obviously never had a job."

And it was fine to offer your personal advice that was what that thread was about. But even your honest advice comes off like complete ass. When one of my friends reads that and goes "dude that guys a ****in dick". What do you expect.

Here's the thing, I don't personally care how you generally talk to me or anyone else around here or what your schtick is. But coming off like you're my dad telling me to get a job because I'm a lazy bum. Or going into the "I'm a productive member of society and you aren't so my opinion means more than yours" bullshit is a bit much.

So are you always a douchebag or just when you come around here?

Don't get me wrong the "I'm 45 years old but I'm perpetually still in high school" act is funny sometimes but don't you think it's time to let it go?

There is indeed a lot assumed when it comes to Iowanian's commentary on other people's lives...

How disappointed will mecca be with his score on the game of life, when he realizes he's been playing Chutes and ladders the entire time?

He has 27k in six years. You have 14k in just over one year.

It would be more disappointing if 23000 of them weren't made over 6 years while at work.

I'd like to preorder your book on life strategies.
